Honesty

'Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program, usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves. There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way. They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty.' (Page 58)

What's the key honesty that this requires of me?

I have a problem.
I don't have a solution.
So I need to stop thinking ...
stop talking ...
listen ...
and act.
